Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Food coloring (green, beige, and black)
- Edible markers or black icing for detailing
Instructions
- Prepare the dough: In a large bowl, beat together softened butter and sugar until creamy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing well. Gradually incorporate the flour until the dough is smooth.
- Divide the dough: Separate into three portions. Color one with beige for skin tone, another with green for the Vulcan salute, and leave the third uncolored for details.
- Roll and cut: Roll the beige dough to about ¼ inch thick. Shape the fingers and palms using a hand-shaped cookie cutter or freehand methods. For the Vulcan salute, shape the fingers into a V-shape with slightly bent fingers for realism.
- Bake: Place cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden. Let cool completely.
- Decorate: Use black edible markers or icing to add fingernails and hand lines. Use the green dough for the V-shape of the Vulcan salute as needed, emphasizing the gesture.
Notes
- Ensure dough is chilled before shaping for cleaner edges.
- Use a steady hand and fine-tipped decorating tools for detailed work.
- You can customize the hand gestures for other Star Trek characters or symbols.
